Doctors at The Marsden told the couple Emmy’s cancer could have been cured had they caught it earlier

Former school friend of Emmy’s Liz Begg offered to carry their baby after reading an emotional post by Emmy on her blog.

Emmy passed away in June and just days afterwards, it was discovered that the pregnancy was ectopic and wouldn’t survive.

Later this month, another embryo will be implanted in Liz with the hope of Emmy and Jake’s baby being realised.

Jake, from Monmouth in Wales said: “I think it gave Liz and I comfort [when we discovered the pregnancy was ectopic] that this first little foetus or baby had gone with Emmy and she could bring it up in heaven, if there is a place.

“I still talk to Emmy every day. I like to think she’s somewhere, looking down and checking in and listening. And that’s why I want to do her so proud."
